1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Burnout has become an increasingly recognized problem in higher medical education and is particularly prevalent within the field of Neurology and its training programs. Many previously reported wellness initiatives in other residencies focused mainly on community/team building. We developed a comprehensive Wellness Curriculum (WC) and established a new role of Resident Wellness Liaison in order to facilitate wellness across the department and training program. Here we present a 6-step outline of our WC which can easily be adapted to the needs of other programs. The steps include creating a Wellness Committee with a Resident Wellness Liaison, identification and optimization of institutional resources, identifying and troubleshooting barriers to wellness, providing education and reflection on wellness, showing appreciation to each other, and assessing the impact of the implemented strategies. In order to measure the impact of our WC and to perform a needs assessment for future directions, we posed questions-grounded in the theory of drivers of burnout and engagement-to our residents (N = 24) at a noon conference in the summer of 2020. Interventions implemented at our institution have been very well received by residents, as evidenced by their comments and feedback. Themes that were highlighted by residents include enjoying flexibility, having a welcoming social support system at work, and being able to find meaning in the day-to-day work. The creation of a comprehensive WC is a feasible and meaningful intervention for addressing resident wellness in a Neurology training program and could be adapted to other programs.
